W5BIV Echolink Page
The W5BIV EchoLink node operates on 145.775, 100 Hz, in Edmond and on 145.525, 100 Hz, in southeast Logan County. Both operate as simplex links. Our thanks to K5SBH for hosting the Logan County site.
In its present configuration, it is continually connected to a conference server, the Care Hub, in west Texas. The hub consists of repeaters and links from coast to coast with an occasional foreign station dropping in for a QSO. There are usually around a dozen nodes connected. If you wish to talk to another station, simply identify, such as ”your-call monitoring” or ”your-call, Oklahoma City”. You may also call another station that you hear on the hub directly.
Please remember to ID before sending any DTMF commands.
You may use the 08 command to verify that the link is connected to the Care Hub.
When transmitting, pause for at least two seconds before speaking (otherwise “clipping” of your first word or two may occur.
As there are multiple repeaters and links connected to the repeater through the Care Hub, pause five seconds between transmissions to allow other repeaters to drop and permit other stations to break in.
Be sure to use the official ITU phonetic alphabet (especially when talking with foreign hams; it’ll save a lot of confusion.
Please do not use the system for local rag chewing as your QSO is being broadcast through numerous repeaters and links coast to coast. Switch to another local repeater for this purpose.
Any Echolink station in the world can call you by connecting to node 119705.
